Former White House green jobs czar Van Jones said on Sunday that President Barack Obama needs a “megaphone moment” about the BP oil spill, and he implied that Americans are waiting for it.

“The president has not yet had his megaphone moment,” Jones said on TV One’s “Washington Watch.” “When he has it, things will calm down. But in the meantime, what we’re doing is distracting ourselves with ‘Was he mad enough? Is he not mad enough?’”

Jones cited former President George W. Bush in the wake of Sept. 11 as an example of what Obama may need to do.

“The last president, after 9/11, people were very frustrated...He couldn't find his voice,” Jones said. “And then he had his megaphone moment at Ground Zero and he stood up and he said they’re going to hear from us soon. And then the country said, ‘OK he gets it.’”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) made a similar comment on Bloomberg TV’s “Political Capital,” saying that the president missed a chance for a “bullhorn moment” right after the April 20 explosion that started the oil spill. Now, Graham said, the president is “making up lost ground.”

Can't believe this idiot is still getting media coverage. The American people are not wringing their hands waiting for more talk or profanity from the President. We're waiting to see him and his administration actually do something about cleaning up the oil choked marshes, the devastated marine life, and the sludge and tar balls now contaminating beaches across the gulf coast. But the left wing nut jobs think the problem is that we just haven't had enough talking!!

Amazing! Van Jones promotes G.W. Bush's Ground Zero speech: "... they're going to hear from us soon." Bush meant Iraq and, unfortunately, the American people bought into it.
"OK he gets it."? Is that really what V.J. thought at the time? Never thought of him as a supporter of the Iraq war.
Who does Van Jones think Obama should go after now? Since, he's an admirer of Bush's megaphone moment (a piece of political showboating), certainly not the perpetrators.

I cannot BELIEVE Van Jones is allowed to give his Communist opinions ANYWHERE in this country! He should be jailed for the criminal activities he has been involved in. Get him OFF THE AIR!
Got him out of the WH, now keep him OUT of AMERICANS LIVES! ! !
